FilmCouch #26

We love artists when their tortured, to the point that they've become an archetype in cinema. You're Gonna Miss Me, The Devil and Daniel Johnston and In the Realms of the Unreal take us to a favorite vacation spot: The murky swamp between madness and brilliance.

Download FilmCouch #26 or subscribe in the iTunes store (search for "filmcouch" or click here to launch iTunes) and a new free episode will download every Friday.

Under discussion:

In the Realms of the Unreal (2004)

The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006)

You're Gonna Miss Me (2007)

Re: FilmCouch #26

As you may have noticed, I created a more comprehensive list of movies featuring tortured artists than I do for most of the podcasts. I'd like this to become a regular thing, as a way to expand the discussion beyond the titles we focused on. I believe (hope) that group members can add to lists, so I encourage all of you to add to the lists that correspond with the topics of the podcasts.

So which films about tortured artists did I miss? Put them on the list then explain why right here!
